How do you deal with baby blues?

It sounds so cliche, but it will get better. I had baby blues, turned into PPA and PPD, the first 6 months were especially hard for me. I don't think there's anything to stop the feelings, but if you can remember it's just temporary that might help. You're in the middle of this season of motherhood now, and it's hard, but it won't be like this forever. If it helps, what you're feeling is so common. Lots of new mums have feelings of anxiety, guilt, missing their pre baby life, so you're not alone in that. It also doesn't mean you're a bad mum for having those feelings, just human 😊 If you have family or friends you can lean on that'd be amazing. And if you need more clinical support, it's definitely something you can bring up with your doctor. I had my GP and psychologist both looking after me closely and couldn't have done it without them
Yeah I feel the same, some days I’m absolutely fine, happy and feel like I have it together! Other days I have bad anxiety, no appetite and just a sense of worry/fear. Then it makes you think about the times you didn’t have this which I think/hope it’s normal. Your not alone
I felt this same way. I was mourning how my life used to be and then that made me even sadder because it made me feel guilty and selfish. For me i needed a lot of simple affection from my husband. Lots of cuddling and hugs. My OB caught this as well based on my depression questionnaire results and perscribed something for me. It really helped me feel normal. I started taking the meds around 2.5 weeks pp and started weaning at 2 months. Was completely off meds and fine before 3 months. You'll get through this and just know that many of us collectively have felt that same feeling. It sucks but it is common
I totally understand this I'm 5 weeks pp and I adore my baby boy more than anything else in life but sometimes I feel like I miss my job and my friends and being able to do all things I had time to do before he arrived. The way I've been dealing with it, is taking some time to myself for 10 minutes let the emotions out usually a good cry sorts me out talking to my partner about how I feel in the moment helps too
